3)Increased
Reports – the reasons: reporting has been made easier via the Internet
and urban sprawl (we are invading more and more forests).

4)World
renowned primatologist, Dr.
Jane Goodall believes there is an unknown
primate living in North America. Many scientists now place
their reputations on the line, now openly support and conduct bigfoot research, such as Dr.
Jeff Meldrum from Idaho State University. In the past a scientist
would never admit they believed in bigfoot
for fear of ruining their credibility, their university’s reputation,
loose funding for research and possible termination.

5)Dermal
Ridges found on numerous tracks around the world and throughout time.Formerly
of the Conroe Police Department Jimmy
Chilcutt, a fingerprint
expert witness believes an unknown primate does exist.

10)Why
is there a law in California that you cannot kill a bigfoot,
for an animal that supposedly does not exist?

II. Why
haven’t we found a body?

A. Nocturnal – travel at night when most people are asleep; possibly
using creeks as their sidewalks;
traveling under bridges avoiding roads.B.Avoid
humans (shy, fearful) -- keep migrating to the deepest forests.C.Population
of Sasquatch is very low.D.Have
you been camping, hunting or hiking in the woods? Let me ask you
this, have you ever seen a dead raccoon in the woods? Probally
not, yet raccoons are abundant. The Sasquatch population is much,
much lower than the raccoon population.E.Highly
intelligent – if these creatures are some where on the evolutionary
chain between us and chimps, they would indeed be very intelligent.F.Might
bury their dead.G.A
body can decompose in about a month. MonsterQuest
showed a time lapse sequence of a deer carcass – scavengers, maggots,
leaf cover and acidic forest floor did a nice job in devouring every
piece of evidence.

III. Where
are the fossils or bones?

A.The
fossil record for chimps and apes is extremely sparse, thus likewise
for bigfoot.

B.The
forest floor is not conducive to preserving fossils. Only recently,
the first ever chimpanzee
fossils were found in 2005.

A.Gigantopithecus
(a 10ft tall great ape who lived as little as 300,000 years ago in
Asia). Pangaea,
when
all the continents were connected, could of allowed Gigantopithecus
to migrate to North America from Asia; this is also why Asia has many
bigfoot sightings as well – aka, the Yeti or abominable snowman.

Here's
a list of excellent books. It doesn't matter if you are a novice,
or a veteran squatcher, if you want to educate yourself on these mysterious
creatures, these books not only include fascinating encounters, they
provide evidence of their existence, give insight to their origin,
paint a picture of their behavior and probably most importantly, provide
valuable research strategies. Every author is a highly respected,
accomplished bigfoot researcher with a lifetime of knowledge under
their belt.

VII. DNA, A Peer-Reviewed Paper and Amazing Video

A.
On
11-24-12 Dr. Melba Ketchum released the DNA findings after a five-year
study based on 109 samples which were submitted throughout the county.
Other independent labs participated in this study which included
blind testing. Dr. Bryan
Sykes, a Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Oxford,
will be releasing DNA results as well.

B.
Amazing clear video from Crittenden, KY of a young female bigfoot
will be the highlight of the documentary. Here's the website: www.sasquatchthequest.com

VIII. Performing
Your Own Research (under construction)

A.
Tree Knocks

Take a large, solid branch and hit a very tall tree as hard as you
can. You want this "crack of the bat" sound to travel as
far as possible. Then wait patiently. It might take up to few minutes
to get a response. Sometimes use 3 or more knocks in rapid succession.
Hopefully you'll get repeat knocks from various locations getting
closer and closer to your location. It is believed this form of communication
is ideal for location-orientation, especially during a coordinated
hunt.
